AltCom festival back in Boston this year

| April 15, 2009 | Punchline Magazine |

The epitome of alternative comedy festivals, AltCom! is coming to Davis Square May 7th-10th. AltCom! is loaded with some of - if not all of - the nation’s most unique, leading comics in the industry today.

I’m very excited about this year’s lineup,” says AltCom director Brian Joyce. “It’s an incredibly unique mix of stand up, sketch comedy, musical and political comedy, local acts and international acts. There’s definitely something for everyone!”

The lineup includes: Janeane Garofalo, Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black, Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company, Rob Riggle from “The Daily Show”, Eugene Mirman, Leo Allen, The Onion Live, Myq Kaplan, Jamie Kilstein, The Steamy Bohemians, Brian Longwell, and Ken Reid among others.

Tickets for all Somerville Theatre shows are available through Ticketmaster.com and at the Somerville Theatre box office: 617-625-4088. Tickets and info for all other performances are available through the Festival website; please visit www.altcomfestival.com.
